AVERTISSEMENT
WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could result
in serious injury, death or property damage.
Never test for gas leaks with an open flame.
Use a commercially available soap solution made
specifically for the detection of leaks to check all
connections. A fire or explosion may result causing
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
RISQUE D'INCENDIE OU D'EXPLOSION
Si les consignes de sécurité ne sont pas suivies à la lettre,
cela peut entraîner la mort, de graves blessures ou des
dommages matériels.
Ne jamais vérifier la présence de fuites de gaz au moyen
d'une flamme nue. Vérifier tous les raccords en utilisant
une solution savonneuse commerciale conçue
spécialement pour la détection de fuites. Un incendie ou
une explosion risque de se produire, ce qui peut entraîner
la mort, des blessures ou des dommages matériels.

If this furnace is to be installed in the same space with oth-
er gas appliances, such as a water heater, ensure there is
an adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air for
the other appliances. Refer to the latest edition of the Na-
tional Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 or CAN/CSA
B149.1-15 Installation Codes or applicable provisions of the
local building codes for determining the combustion air re-
quirements for the appliances.
Most homes will require outside air be supplied to the fur-
nace area by means of ventilation grilles or ducts connect-
ing directly to the outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors
such as attics or crawl spaces.

tirage, comme celui des hottes de cuisine et des salles de
bains, et les régler à la puissance maximale. Ne pas
mettre en marche les ventilateurs d'été.
6) Suivre les instructions d'allumage. Mettre en marche
l'appareil soumis à l'inspection. Régler le thermostat
de manière à ce que l'appareil fonctionne en continu.
7) Vérifier la présence de fuite au niveau de l'ouverture
du coupe-tirage des appareils qui en sont dotés après 5
minutes de fonctionnement du brûleur principal. Utiliser
la flamme d'une allumette ou d'une bougie.
8) Si un problème de ventilation est observé pendant
l'un des essais décrits ci-dessus, des correctifs doivent
être apportés au système de ventilation conformément
au National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 et (ou)
au Code d'installation du gaz naturel et du propane, CSA
B149.1.
9) Une fois qu'il a été déterminé que chaque appareil
raccordé au système de ventilation fonctionne
correctement au moyen des essais décrits ci-dessus,
les portes, les fenêtres, les ventilateurs, les registres
de foyer et tous les autres appareils de combustion
alimentés au gaz doivent être remis dans leur état
initial.

pipe, the transition from 2” to 3” should be done as close to
the furnace as possible, and only when the piping is sloped
enough to prevent condensation from collecting.
This furnace must not be connected to Type B, BW, or L
vent or vent connector, and must not be vented into mason-
ry chimney. A masonry chimney may be used as a chase or
passage way for approved venting materials providing the
masonry chimney is not also being used to vent products
of combustion. Never common vent this appliance with an-
other appliance. Never use a vent which is used by a solid
fuel appliance.
Piping may run vertically or horizontally and must be ade-
quately supported to prevent strain on joints, sagging, sepa-
ration, and detachment from the furnace. Horizontal runs of

     
toward the drain.
Do not trap the drain line in any other location than
at the drain trap supplied with the furnace.
If the drain line is routed through an area which
may see temperatures near or below freezing,
precautions must be taken to prevent condensate
from freezing within the drain line.
If an air conditioning coil is installed with the furnace,
a common drain may be used. An open tee must be
installed in the drain line, near the cooling coil, to
relieve positive air pressure from the coil’s plenum.
This is necessary to prohibit any interference with
the function of the furnace’s drain trap.

All furnace models come with a factory installed drain trap.
For vertical installations, the trap will remain in the factory

the drain to exit the right side. All furnace models installed
horizontally require the trap to be relocated. Many drain
hoses have a built–in grommet which will provide a cabinet
seal when installed. See instructions below for your model
and installation position.

The trap and factory installed hoses remain as shipped.
The furnace drain may exit either the right or left side of the
furnace cabinet. Both sides of the cabinet have two .875”
diameter holes which can be used interchangeably for drain
and low voltage wiring purposes. If a higher drain exit is
needed, a .875” diameter hole may be added in the area
shown in Figure 22. Any unused cabinet opening must be
sealed. Do not allow drain hose to sag or trap water.
